"Marty Rathbun, who was once Mr. Miscavige’s top lieutenant, is now one of the church’s top detractors."

“That Rathbun and Rinder are speaking out is a stunning reversal because they were among Miscavige's closest associates, Haldeman and Ehrlichman to his Nixon. Now they provide an unprecedented look inside the upper reaches of the tightly controlled organization.”

“Marty presents himself as a true believer. He still believes in the faith, but he's trying to reform it. He sees himself as a Martin Luther figure.”

“Marty has become one of the Church's most public detractors, and has appeared in that guise on virtually every major US news network.”

“I love Scientology. But there needs to be a differentiation between the Church of Scientology and the philosophy.”

“When I left Scientology, I lost every friend I ha. Then I went to see Marty. He gave me certainty, gave me hope, and made me realise I wasn't alone. He picked up the broken pieces of my life and put them back together.”

“That’s the difference between the old Scientology and the new: the brave new Scientology is all these beautiful buildings and real estate and no people.”
